A Museum of Relirion.

Parisians, who, in these latter days, at
least, are not remarkable for the depth of
fervor Of their religious feelings, are
about to have museum Of religion. The
founder of this remarkable and interest
ing institution is M. Guimet. The
building il in the Gr@co-Roman style of
architecture, and with its pillared porti-
Goes, its rotunda, its columns, and its
caryatides, looks like an ancient temple.
1t is situated near the Trocadcro, at cor
ner of the avenue d'Jena. The edifice
has been constructed after designs which
were taken from the last mosaics discov-
cred at Pompeii. The religions of Greece
and Rome arc NEST strongly represented,
and in the northern gallery is an atrium
which is to contain the altar of a pagan
divinity copied from an original model.
In the lateral galleries will be exhibited
objects appertaining to the religions Of
Egypt, India and China. In garden at
tached to the building there is to be
placed a largo conservatory and pond
containing plants consecrated to religious
uses.-Paris Cor. London Telegraph.

Not the Consumpti,o,s Paradise.

In letter read before n recent meeting

DR.. Schliemann energetically protests
against the current belief in the salutary
effect of the Egyptian climate in pulmon-
airy troubles. He writes from Thebes:
"Since my consumptive servant, Polops,
whom had taken with me in order to
save his life, has died, and since have
observed in this city number of con-
sumptiyes whom, like the German Con-
sular Agent Tedrous, l knew twenty-eight
years ago as robust men, am entirely
cured of the belief that Egypt is the para
disc Of conslimptives, and would much
rather advise such patients to 60 to the

END OF THE TRADE DOLLARS.

The Last Melt" at tho Assay Officc.
Samples for Assaying-Briclss.
On recent Friday afternoon the las.
''melt' of the 3,495, 533 trade dollars
which have been received at the United
States assay Office in Wall street, since
the act of congress authorizing their pur-
chase went into effect, was completed and
the limpid silver was poured into the
molds and transformed into silver bricks,
LOO TO 1, 200 ounces in weight. A "melt"
Of silver at the assay Office means 5000
ounces. Therefore, in order to make way
with the whole number of this 3, 500, 900
Of trade dollars about 700 "melts" were
necessary. y reporter CHANGED to be
present and stood near the crrlcible when
these last representatives of dead cur
rency slowly lost their individuality
and became shapeless glittering mass.
When the last "melt" OF the trade dol
lars had been poured into the molds and
made into brick, the reporter observed
that two small quantities, perhaps Of q
grain or two each, were put into little re-
ceptacles and sent to the assaying room.
"These," explained Assistant Assayer j.
T. Wilder, "are the samples for assaying.
Two are taken from each melt They
are each assayed by different persons and
their work must tally. If it does not, the
work is repeated. If the two assays still
fail to agree the whole melt is remelted
and fresh samples taken. Then the pro-
cess is gone through with again.
1.-THE greatest care is taken,' said Mr..
Wilder, "to guard against inaccuracies.
The assaying is done by the Gay Lussac
method. The exact amount of metal is
weighed and dissolved in nitric acid.
Then enough chlorine is added to precip-
itate precisely drachm of pure silver.
The solution is then shaken for three
minutes in a shaking machine (run by
steam), after which it is allowed to set
tie. More salt water is added, every
atom of which is taken account of, and
If any silver remains in solution it shows
slight cloudiness. The operation is re-
peated until no cloudiness appears, show
ing that no silver remains in solution;
that it has all been precipitated. Then
a calculation is made as to the exact
fineness of the samples of silver in the
trade dollar, which is corrected by silver
proofs. When the fineness is thoroughly
ascertained it is stamped upon the bar or
brick which has been formed by the
melted dollars, together with the value,
weight, melt number and number of the
bar. Then the bar or brick is sent to the
Enclosure before mentioned, where the
other trade dollar bricks are kept under
combination safe lock. The combina-
ton of this, as well as of the other safe
locks in tho building, is known only to
Superintendent Mason and one other
trusted official. New York Tribune

SONG OF THE WHEEL.

Away from tho office and desk at last,
Tho business haunted room,
The roar Of q city, hurrying past,
The heat, the worry, the gloom, -
To the glorious red Of the sunset sky, ~
Tho sweet, cold vino of the air. Il
A dusty. rusty pair! -
Push, push. two birds in bush ~
Are laughing to SEQ me hop;
On with bound from the frozen ground,
With never sway nor stop.
Over and over the pedals fly
come on" TO the twittering bird cry,
As over and over the wheels fly past her;
over and over, still faster and faster,
On through tho ice cold stream of dir,
On where the road is frozen and bare.
Roll-roll-roll-roll-
Silent and swift as q death freed soul,
Glide-glde-
On the smooth, black tide
or the ocean Of night flowing In from the west,
over and over, and on without rest
Swifter and swifter, Ill over the crest
or the hill, and down to the valley below.
Through the murk Of the mist and the white Of
the snow
Now my sseed falters, as, breathless and slow,
Up the steep hillside he labors and grinds,
-Srinds-grinds-
Across ana across no turns and winds,
Sand clogged and rock hindered, without hope
or faith,
No longer soul, but a sin burdened wraithr-
Till, reaching the summit, he spurns the dark
hill,
And onward he plunges, for good or for i'll,
Over and onward, and onward and over,
He reels and he spins like jolly old rover.
Roll-roll-rol.-roll-
Backward he flies to our one dear goal,
Where the whirling shall cease, and the rider
shall rest,
And soft trembling lips to my own thall be
pressed.
Slow-slow-slow,
Slowiy-more slowly--we GO
What, darling so far on the road tonight.
To welcome us both with your eyes sweet light,
The wheel no longer has need to roam

Dissertation of a Naynl Battle.

Those who have read the narrative of
the battle between the Guerrietc and the
Constitution during the war of 1912 re-
member that the American frigate, al
though it received three broadsides from
the British man-of-war, did not fire until
she had come to close quarters. Then
her fire was so rapid that in few min
utes tho British ship struck her colors.

The HaddOck Anniversary.

The anniversary of the killing of Geo.
G. Haddock at Sioux City, Iowa, was
celebrated by Rev. DIV. Clark last Sun.
day in an appropriate manner. After
narrating the thrilling story of the fa-
nous whisky murder, he proceeded to
show the good effects of prohibition in
all quarters-not by the worn.out meth
cd of "dry figures" but by reliable testi.
mony from cities and counties and States
where prohibitory laws have been en-.
forced. He held up to ridicule the in.
consistency of liquor dealers where they
declare in their own publications that
prohibition is the greatest and most dan.
gerous enemy to the traffic, while in
organs intended for the public eye they
say prohibition don't prohibit. and
more liquor is sold where It is tried than
elsewhere" His review of ninety days
heero was careful and thorough.
With just tinge of sarcasm he mem
toned our pseudo drugstore, and the
dealers who still occupy their old stands
and profess not to be selling intoxicants.
Two saloons have been wiped out of ex.
istence. The others do not sell liquor
openly over the counter. Mayor Har-
man estimates that there has been q de.
crease of eighty per cent. in the amount
of drinking. Six arrests for drunken
ness have been made within the past
three months against seventeen in the
same period last year. Such were some
Of the valuable thoughts and facts pre-.
sented to an interested congregation
from Mr.. Clark's pulpit.
